The GMB union has announced that the Asda supermarket in Wisbech, Hampshire has voted in favor of industrial action. Over 97% of staff, in a turnout of 87%, voted to walk out in protest against cuts to hours and an increase in a bullying management culture. Meanwhile, the Brighton Marina and Hollingbury stores have decided against taking industrial action. The GMB union’s announcement comes as a blow to Asda, as it faces potential strikes in multiple locations. The union has been vocal in its criticism of the company’s treatment of staff, and the high turnout and overwhelming support for industrial action in Wisbech highlight the level of dissatisfaction among employees. Asda will now need to address these concerns and work towards resolving the issues raised by its employees.
